A (A)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
Whoever secretly (B)slanders his neighbor, him I will [a]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (C)haughty look and an arrogant heart.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [b](D)blameless way is one who will serve me.

  2. Psalm 101:6 Or way of integrity

The perverse of heart(A) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(B) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(C) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(D)
    will minister to me.
